Superb game. Good cast of characters, story is light-hearted with a good sense of comedy, but still with a good share of emotional scenes that are well placed as to not feel out of place.
Now if we could just get Vicky as a romance option I'll raise this review to 6 stars
Excellent game.
Captivating story, lovely characters, good animations. Makes you think carefully each choice you make. Each "love interest" of the main character is equally appealing.
Would also love to see other students get tangled into relationships.
Very nice law mini-games. Looks like the creator really put in the work.
One of the best I have played so far.
It's actually good.
People have layers, the story has depth, behaviour is quite rational, renders look very good, multiple choices and just an overall fun experience.
10/10 recommend.
TL;DR: oh hell nahhh
But seriously, i don't understand how this is rated 4.6 avg. The plot? Might as well be about a bunch of girls only, MC has no agenda besides becoming the best lawyer, which he can't stop telling everyone about. Aside from the fact that i'm not into law practice, at all, there's little of anything else. Classes, lame party, bar, MC goes around doing a bunch of BS for women. But MC himself isn't the biggest issue, he's actually alr when he's not being a fucking simp.
Long winded dialogues, detailed explanation of internals of law, haven't noticed any romance whatsoever despite the tag suggesting otherwise. I wouldn't have rated it so low if relationships with girls were consistently gradual (with some exceptions), but this isn't the case. Take Miranda as an example, one of the few i actually kind of liked, but the rel progression goes from being recently acquainted straight to her getting off of MC in a shower (after their, de facto, first time together one-on-one in a gym).
Others aren't any better, they're all over MC for no reason but him being a white knight, a nice guy and handsome. The latter i don't really get, he just looks slightly better than avg, but i'm straight as an arrow male, so beats me.
The only redeeming quality is the graphics, which are nice, but even this is spoiled by terrible work with perspective. There are occasional renders from different angles, but in majority of scenes it's just two talking heads. Static, boring, basic, and imo bad. Sexual content is, well, it's there, but from what i saw it's okay. Not terrible, not great, just okay.
I regret spending half a day trying to read it, and after some point i started skipping. Should've stopped after that tbh, but i tried to find something worthwhile, but failed. Perfect for law nerds, i suppose, wouldn't recommend it for anyone else. A lot of content, not a lot of anything interesting in it. A lot of dialogues, but most of it is about the law, way too much so. A lot of women, not a lot of sense in relationships progression. This isn't the only AVN about law i tried, but the other one i liked a whole lot more, to the point of it becoming one of my top rated AVNs overall.
Edit: i just remembered why i decided to try this AVN. I've played The Entrepreneur, the previous AVN from this dev, which was quite decent. I can't recall all the details but i at least remember that it was good enough for me not to hold skip button, and finish it. Oh well.
The graphical part of this game (the design of the characters, animations etc) is top notch. English is also good. So, why I give it just three stars?
Well, the writing is increadibly bland and boring. Lots of unnessesary text and conversations. In terms of lewd scenes it is also very vanilla.
Just another stereotype college game.
After Season 1:
This game is amazing, easily in my TOP 5. I understand some critisism about the authenticity of the setting, but I am European (Czech) and I don't really care about that.
The renders are grat, lewd scenes are also good and I really like the story.
And the girls? TBH I can't pick my favorite one. I freaking love Rose, Aurora, Elsa, Olive, Miri, Samara and Taylor. Even Sana grew on me. The dudes are well written too.
I simply love games that make me feel something and the emotions are definitelly there. I hope this game continues to deliver.
Man so tierd of devs making dream scenes that cant be skipped....game starts with one where you fuck a bimbo and to make it worse MC makes the tits even bigger then they started with due to it being a dream.....and 1 i couldent care less about dream scenes in a story, 2 i hate bimbo characters, 3 i hate MCs with a big tit fetish since its such a pain in the ass when you dont have it as the player.....extremly shitty start, if i just want to watch pointless animations with 0 story context, i would just go to a porn site....and yes theres multiple idiotic dream scenes.
Story starts with you going to law school and your supposed to live with your hot best friend, but dev fucked that up as well so you wont do that and instend you get a boring ass ugly bimbo room mate....great start right, so all the fun stuff that could have gone on between them is already be dropped and not talkng about sex, there could have been alot of normal fun between them and the worst part is the hottest girl aka MCs best friend feels more like a sidegirl then anything else, where to me she should be one of the main girls.
Next theres the fake choices which another thing i hate, why give you 2 choices if outcome is 100% the same, also the idiotic "maybe i should ask someone to hang out with" and you get 3 options for 3 people you couldent care less about....why no option to just say no if you arent on their route whats the point.
MC is also very very submissive, he allows girls to do whatever to him without ever saying anything....its boring as fuck playing a simp and he wants to be a lawyer lol there would be 0 chance of that with hes lack of backbone.
MC also flirts with everyone without any kind of player controle and you cant turn down dates and such, it gets annoying in the long run doing shit with people you couldent care less about.
MC is even nice to those he shouldent even like and those that pretty much hate him still wants to jump on hes dick...porn logic and not the good kind, they actually do jump on him and kiss him for 0 reasons, dosent matter how little interrest you have shown them, which really shows how little the choices means, its pretty much only yes/no to relationships nothing else.
And gotta it feels more like work when you arent a fuckfest type player, you constantly have to turn down girls left and right no matter how many freaking times you show 0 interrest or dont help them or dont compliment them and sometimes its hard due to the simp MC so both choices is shit like "i like you" or "i like what i see" when shes half nude...i mean which one is the no i want nothing to do with you choice......
In any case, i went purely for a faithfull run with MCs childhood friend and sinces shes pretty much just a side-girl, hmm not even sure you can call her that since theres 0 content with her besides a kiss, so close to 2 years in development without adult content is a bit to much of a slowburn, im sure theres plenty with the bimbos and whoever else, but its clearly made only for players that like mindless fuckfest games and not those into story and one girl run, so take that into consideration since it might be something you love but its not for all.
Kinda feel like its written by a 12 year old horney school girl, due to how MC acts and thinks and even how all the girls thought process is cringy and lusting for MC no matter how poorly you treat them..it just feels idiotic to me.
Cant rate animations since i dident really see any outside the random car driving and such, i know there was some dream shit and lesbian scene but i fast forward those since i dont care about them in any way.
Girls look nice and theres a bit of diversity in builds but still favors the big tit fetish, but there are a few for those that like the smaller sizes but not all have content as explained earliere.
Music is pretty good
Choices is pretty much a joke, granted you can turn down the girls but game dosent really accept it since you can pick the worst choice every single time wth a girl and she will still trow her self on MC wanting to be with him, like i said ealiere its more like work constantly trying to turn them down.
Renders are good quality.
I can really only give this 2 stars since there was very little i liked about this, story was to bland with no main plot outside going to school to become a lawyer and its not choice driven theres extremly few choices that effect anything outside of yes/no to relationships and i lost count on how many times i would have loved to just say no or fuck off, but you cant skip a girls story, MC is pretty much just a yes man that you follow along with as the player since theres 0 player input on what he does to effect anything.
And as for adult content its pretty poor as well, i belive there is a total of 18 scenes and it can be as little as just a BJ, its pretty poor considering the numbers of LIs, not to forget some has 0 scenes.
I don't get how this one gets so much praise, I really don't. Graphically it may shine but that's honestly all I really care for.
This dev clearly has no idea what comic relief is let alone how to actually use it. They try way, way to hard to be funny. Expect every other scene to be "humor" followed with an h/v punch just because. It's to the point where even scenes that are supposed to impactful or romantic, for lack of a far better word, are turned into just another "joke".
When it comes to the main girls there isn't any real connection to speak of, and even if you do turn someone down, several times, the game doesn't care because they are still going to be all over the MC. There are also many moment of LI inner monologues about "sex time" or a "comically misspelled Netflix and chill. It's all so juvenile. And they are used to specifically state what is going on because the dev can't write subtlety or express the tone of the scenes.
There is also no real plot whatsoever that I saw. You go to Law School and take classes. The end. That wouldn't be so bad if the game instead centered on character stories but it doesn't even do that. The whole thing is just a jumble of random events that the dev decided sounded cool at the time. Also, unlike the description there a very, very, few choices that "shape the story". Nearly all of them boil down to make a move on this woman or not. It really couldn't get much more lazy.
There also seems to be an affinity of sorts but I didn't anywhere it actually changed anything at all. There are "paths" for Lis that change, I guess, but it doesn't matter because you can go after every LI any time regardless of what that status is.
TLDR: It looks pretty, but that's really all it has going for it unless your standers are quite low.
A real surprise—don't be fooled by its obscurity, it's a delight for girls with enormous depth of character, all with a lot of history, background, and very distinct charms, as well as a story that will hook you from the beginning, great narrative quality, easily among the best of this year.
Good story with some twists as well as humour. I like that there's more to the characthers than first meet the eye. Feels like there's a lot more to discover.
Keep up the good work and I look forward to season 2!
Since the chars seem to be looking more normal (as the usual oversized boob girls) I gave it a try. Also since the topic was mine as well. Anyhow I realy enjoyed the game and the chars. My favorite was Aurora, who developed very nicely and with more deepness then the rest.
Nice plot twists(even if some are not that deep but I wouldnt mind) as everything is well patched and scripted together. No big long dramas that are unsolved and dragging on and on to prolong the story. In addition the law content is also quite accurate and "educative" if one can say that.
Great potential so Im hoping the next season comes soon to continue....
Just finished my first playthrough, and damn. Hell of a story, great characters and development. Stunning on the whole. Excellent balance of story progression and relationship development with more than a few intriguing characters. Waiting on tenterhooks for season 2!
Recently discovered, could not put it down until the end.
Very few games on this site has done this to me. I think the writing is top notch, with characters specifically. All of them are likeable, so it's very hard to pick one to focus on. Might be a flaw to someone.
Game looks great as well, can't think of a big flaw.
Nice game and it has a good story. It's also not just a sex fest and there's buildup that makes the wait worth it. The characters have great writing and they have actual personalities.
My only problem is that, the sex scenes are too short, well i said the wait is worth but because the mc and a girl finally did it, the problem is because it's short and not much dialogue during the scenes, not much satisfying for me.
THE GOOD
Sex animations and renders. The reason I got interested in trying this game in the first place. For me this is the games flagship and we all can agree on this.
THE BAD
To get to the sex scenes, I feel like you first have to endure waves of uninteresting texts.
Gonna be another one in hundreds of over saturated college trope games out there?
Jock mc mentioned hes not a gamer which makes him really unrelatable to most of the target readers. What 18 yrs old in this day and age doesn't play or atleast tried playing videogames. I expected more of this behaviors from boomers 40+ of age.
Got easily offended by some girls remarks upon arrival at the school. MC acts really immature for his age specially when he met his roommate.
Dynamic between people around mc just doesn't hit right (for me). Banters, jokes and dialogues feels boring.
THE UGLY
Game UI looks so dated. The font, the 50% opacity textbox and music all gave 2019-2020 released game vibes.
Season 1 of Law School presents a really nice beginning to what will hopefully be a long game.
The 3 episodes that make up the season at the time of review contain quite a lot of content, which is always nice to see when trying a new game for the first time.
Like many games of the genre, we play as an MC who is starting a new life attending college. It's easy to feel like the genre is oversaturated with settings like this, but in my opinion one of the strongest aspects of the game to this point is the story. So far it seems like the plot has been pretty methodically planned out by the dev, and it even manages to throw in a few twists that were unexpected, at least to me.
There are a few breadcrumbs laid in the story so far that I think would be things you look at on a second playthrough and think to yourself 'How did I not notice that before', which I believe is a great credit to the writing of the game.
The characters are really quite compelling, most everyone you encounter has some sort of interesting feature or personality trait. The game has quite a large cast but doesn't veer too much into cliche, and everyone seems fairly unique. Even male characters seem to have a level of depth and maturity to them, which is not entirely commonplace within VN's that I've played. The writing of characters and the story is definitely a strong point so far.
Graphically, the game is pleasant, if not mindblowing. It certainly doesn't look outdated, and includes a number of different locations, varied character models and nice animations.
The last aspect that stood out to me was the phone system, which I think was done quite well. It wasn't intrusive to the experience but did allow for some extra moments of optional 'dialogue' with the characters, which was a nice option to have, especially given the quality of the writing
I think Season 1 was well worth the time playing and I look forward to future updates.
one of the best visual novels i’ve ever played. i literally made an account just to say how great it is. the story, art, and pacing are all excellent. only wish the updates came out faster, but it’s still amazing.
law school is honestly amazing. the characters feel alive and the story had me hooked from start to finish. easily the best vn i’ve ever played. if i had one wish though, it’d be for the game to let us focus more on one girl and build a real relationship, like proper dating, instead of just one-off scenes. also a calendar to see the days and maybe more interactive moments like in summer heat would make it even better. and maybe, just maybe, some hints on how to unlock different scenes. still, an absolute masterpiece
I need to say, it's really hard not to compare this game with one of the most beloved College life AVN on here, but I think this fact alone is very high praise for any VN.
Graphics : 8/10
The graphics are very good, not eye-candy exceptional but still very good and up-to-date despite sometimes using assets that are pretty old now. It's the kind of graphics that you don't notice much, as they're good enough to please all but the most spoiled of players, but are just shy of being impressive enough for you to go "woah".
Sound & Music : 8.5/10
I always appreciate a Developer that takes extra care in selecting songs that fit the overall vibes of the scenes. While I won't be adding any of the songs to my favorite playlist, I did stop a few times to simply enjoy the music, which is a testimony of how it adds a lot to the whole experience.
Story : 8/10
The story is the hardest part to rate. I don't like the Main Character a whole lot, as he's really mister perfect. He could really use a flaw or two to make him more believable. Also, there's not a big storyline with cliffhangers and huge ups and downs, not yet anyways. BUT, I really like the whole cast of characters (outside of the MC) presented in the game. A lot of them have a very interesting complexity to them, and they are all pretty realistic, and even the "meaner" ones are very interesting to discover, and change your opinion about them, something I very much enjoy.
Gameplay : 8.5/10
The gameplay is nice, there's the standard phone at your disposition, but it's used in a better fashion than most AVNs. There are choices here an there, not as much as I would like, but still enough to be satisfactory. There's also some fake free roams, and some mild mini game (quiz) that are entirely skippable but that are interesting if the topic at hand (law) is/becomes fun to you. The Dev also tried something new with some animations that I think is nice to see.
In conclusion, this is a very well balanced game, and I'm very excited to see where the Dev takes it, because I think it has an extremely huge potential for the future. I can see this eventually becoming one of my Top 3 AVNs in the future, if the emotions and the stakes are ramped up as the story progresses. For now, it hits the Top 10 very easily. It's a game where the Dev really puts a lot of effort into it and it shows.
